I can see that advanced dining reservations open 60 days before the date. However what time does that start? Is it midnight of the day that is exactly 60 days before your vacation date. And is that PDT or EST?”

Greetings, Pamela, and thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel!

I’m thrilled to help you plan your upcoming vacation to the Happiest Place on Earth! It’s always a good idea to plan ahead, especially when it comes to selecting your ideal dining reservations. As you mentioned, dining reservations can be booked up to 60 days in advance, so you’re all set to book reservations currently through May 23, 2019. A Cast Member told me that dining inventories open up online at either 3 AM or 6 AM Pacific Daylight Time -- it varies by day. You may book dining reservations online, or, if you prefer calling, the phone number for Disney Dining is (714) 781-DINE or (714) 781-3463.

There are so many wonderful options for dining experiences at the Disneyland Resort, from the unique setting of Blue Bayou Restaurant, to the hip new Lamplight Lounge, to the beauty of Wine Country Trattoria. You can also reserve Dining Packages for World of Color, Frozen – Live at the Hyperion, and Fantasmic! Plus, don’t forget about the entertaining Character Dining options available inside Disneyland Park, and at each of the Disneyland Resort Hotels.

Meet the Panelist: Kristin, California

Hello from sunny California! I currently live less than an hour from the Disneyland Resort, and have been an Annual Passholder for about 20 years! As a mom of three kids under the age of 7, I consider myself an expert at navigating the Disneyland Resort with little ones. My family of five can’t get enough of the magic and happiness we encounter every time we step foot on Main Street, U.S.A. I look forward to sprinkling pixie dust on your next visit to “The Happiest Place on Earth!”
